Hey guys. Recently picked up a JTR 6 speed with the mid level uconnect. I want to add a subwoofer to my Jeep. I had a kicker 12 inch CompR on a 400 watt amp in my two door JK and was very pleased with that sound although it was a bit much at times. My requirements are fairly simple. I have decent woodworking skills and was going to go one of two options. Mount a 10 inch sub behind the rear seats (I want to keep the under seat storage area as this is important to me, and I like that I can lock the seats in the up position to keep prying eyes off the subwoofer) and fabricate a wooden box for it, or mount a kicker hideaway (or the Alpine equivalent) under the driver seat. I don't want any crazy interior rattling bass, but am afraid the hideaway all in one type unit might not be enough. Also, how difficult is adding a sub and amp to the new uconnect? Can I just tap into the soundbar speaker wires for signal and call it a day? Also going to replace the soundbar speakers as well as adding polyfill down the line but subwoofer is first on the list. Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever build or install anything?
